ALFRED BRATT, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSIAH CLINTON WALSH, OF SAME PLACE.

BAG-LOCK.

SPECIFICATION forming 'part of Letters Patent No. 238,745, dated March 8, 1881.

Application filed August 9, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED BRATT, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New J ersey,have invented new and useful Im- 5 provements in Bag-Locks, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to the mode of securing the lock-case to the frame.

My improvement consists, `first, in an end derstood, I will proceed to describe it with ref. erence to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis alongitudinal section of the lock,

z 5 clips, and the adjacent portion ot' the frame.

Fig. 2 is a perspective View of one ot' the clips detached. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the lock-case and frame, showing the former detached from the latter.

A represents the Satchel-frame, and B the lockcase. This lockcase is rectangular in shape, and is closed at the ends by plates C, having lips o that pass through slots a in the frame A, and by being bent, as shown, afford 3 5 a secure means of attaching the lock to the frame when the end pieces are too far removed to serve for that purpose.

In order that my invention may be fully un- (Model.)

D represents my improved end piece, which is adapted to be used wit-h this form ot' lockcase. E E are studs cast or swaged in one 4o piece with the end pieces, D, and, projecting through holes d in theframe A, are riveted on the inner side of the same and thereby hold the end pieces securely. These studs being made in onepiece with the end piece, it allows 4 5 the upper surface of the end pieces to be tinished perfectly smooth, thus giving a better appearance. The end pieces, D, are also pro.- vided with lips F, which project over'the top of the lock-case B and hold it securelyin place. 5o It will be observed that this form of end piece is applied to the lock externally, and that no adaptation between the end piece and the lockcase is required.

Grooves Gr in the outer ends of the end piece 55 serve for the reception of the rings H of the handle I; but in this part of the device no novelty is claimed.

Having thus described my invention, the following is what I claim as new and desire to 6o secure by Letters Patent:

1. The end piece, D, having lip F, groove G, and studs E cast thereon, as set forth.

2. The end pieces, D, each formed with lips F and studs E, in combina-tion with a satchel 65 or bag frame, A, and a lock-case, B, provided with suitable means for preventing its lateral displacement on the frame.
